There will be more hopefully funny slideshows made as time allows, so come back.
Evolution - Beauty is an Illusion
Last night, I dreamed someone broke into my house and replaced everything in it with an exact replica. I'm inclined towards tilting at windmills. Fell in love with gardening when I had to take care of the house. As you can see I enjoy making and taking care of things. If something is yours one has to do their best to take care of it, people take so much for granted now a days. I started off the pond/garden with a few mail order dwarf Japanese Maples cause they are cheap and exotic. Now have all kinds of bonsai trees I make myself, some look great now, some will look great hopefully in 5-20 years, have to leave them in my will to someone. Try to get out to see a great live band play at least a couple times a month, some fanastic stuff around just have to look real, really hard for it. Enjoy skiing, hiking, mountain bike riding. Love fishing but there's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot. I like to make home as pleasant as possible. Ebay is the new US under economy. Seeing movies in theaters on big giant screens setting towards the front, (on a small screen might as well watch it at home). Live music is the best. Attending theater on occasion of different sorts. Can't beat a live comedian for a great time out, then again beating people is usually frowned upon. Take pleasure in just browsing for odds & ends. Had a cat my entire life, obviously not the same one, if so that kind of would be just a pile of dust, not much fun unless one had it stuffed. I like these independent semi-wild animals living with me. Like independent things. Lakoda my present cat, which is not stuffed, yet, will fetch a ball. Since I'm in Information Technology I unfortunately know more then any human being should know about computer thingies. Enjoy doing home repair, can fix just about anything, mean anything, cept women, lol, especially since it keeps the all Vultures around Murfreesboro out of ones wallet. The other day I... uh, no, that wasn't me.
Looking for people to exchange emails about stories, beliefs, ones goals, philosophy, maybe what color Jell-O they prefer, is Coca-Cola pop or soda, if you buy some powdered water what do you add, things like that. Meeting people who already are my friend but just don't know it yet. In my wanderings be great to meet a down to earth lady with some style and as such appreciates the benefits accorded. So, do you live around here often? I believe in making ones daily life better, enjoying life as it comes in all it's flavors rather then saving it up for a later date.I have a green alien in my house

Listen to just about anything long as it's not too commercial, except rap. My roots are in classic rock and jazz but while living in Texas the all pervasive country/western just kind of seeps into your soul and you're hooked, well maybe after a few years. Learned to like country especially when I figured out dancing the two step in Texas, very well I might add, gets lots of women in ones arms... The Stones, I love the Stones. I watch them whenever I can. Fred, Barney... Keep thinking about getting satellite radio so I can listen to less mainstream music. Love alternative rock/folk. Since I have scrolling windows I've decided to add some of my favorite music, then again how to select a life time of experiences which is what music is to just a few. Toad the Wet Sprocket, Mark Knoffler & Dire Straits, Eric Clapton & Blind Faith, Lyle Lovett, KT Tunstall, Faith and the Muse, Matchbox Twenty, Led Zeppelin, Shawn Mullins, Chris LeDoux, Pink Floyd, 4 Non Blondes, Boston, Billy Joel, Moody Blues, Sara Evans, Chaka Khan, Chicago then 11, Goo Goo Dolls, Sawyer Brown, 50’s bebop, Chris Isaak, Jethro Tull, The Doors, The Cars, Collective Soul, Night Ranger, Grand Funk Railroad, Steely Dan, Barenaked Ladies, Styx, Alanis Morissette, Kate Bush, Coldplay, David Benoit, The Cranberries, Dwight Yoakam, Journey, Fiona Apple, Elvis Costello, Indigo Girls, John Cougar Mellencamp, Kenny Chesney, Steely Dan, Kansas, The Bangles, Meat Loaf, Bread, David Bowie, Queen, Sarah McLachlan, Shakra, Alan Parsons Project. Looks like the oldies section at tower records. Funny thing for all the progressive, edgier music today it sound a lot like these, What's new is old.
One of my favorite movies is "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray it's hilarious. Great films - "Apocalypto", "Once Upon a Time in America" with the then young Robert De Niro,James Woods,Joe Pesci, "Goodfellas", "Pulp Fiction", British comedy's, "Cinderella Man", Oriental kung-fu with badly dubbed english. Will watch a foreign movie with subtitles on occasion. Can't forget the spaghetti westerns. Of course Scifi, MST3K, love the old 50-60's scifi movies, such as "the crawling eye", "trip to the angry red planet", the best of all "Planet Of The Vampires". Enjoy nature documentaries, presently watching the BBC Planet Earth series which is available in the US only by downloading the shows from the web. Like some quirky sappy romantic movies but has to be off beat. Favorite chick flick if I have to pick one is "Autumn in New York" with Richard Gere & Winona Ryder, with Pretty Women a close second. Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories....
History Channel, Discovery, Nova, AMC. Spongebob Squarepants, HBO's Deadwood, Carnivale & Rome. The majority of Broadcast TV is garbage. Having said that I've been watching "Grey's Anatomy" since the very first episode. 30 Rock is very funny. "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" can be extremely excellent sometimes. "New Adventures Of Old Christine" is usually pretty good. Enjoy "Men in Trees", I think it's quirky. Food Channel on occasion since I enjoy eating, therefore I like to cook. If I melt dry ice, can I take a bath without getting wet?
Have a large book case full. Mostly SciFi related. With all the downsizing in the publishing business hard to find a good scifi book unless you dig really deep for one. Can't stand all the former pop writers who got downsized and are trying to write scifi since it's a growing genre. Some of the best out there today: Neil Gaiman's American Gods, John C Wright's The Golden Age series, Alaster Reynolds' technothriller trilogy Revelation Space, China Mieville's Perdido Street Station which is part science fiction, part horror, and part social commentary, Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan a cross between hard-core cyberpunk and hard-boiled detective fiction. I'm writing a book it's an unauthorized autobiography. I've got the page numbers done.
